    Most People here could probably have stayed with the women they were with in farang land but chose not

    If given any choice, I would have lived my life with my English wife of 30 years, but she wanted the gardener, and my house, pension and children.

    Most of the guys I know out here were similarly discarded by their western women.

    Two things that are daily myths myths on this TVF. One is that Thailand is not doing well financially and will collapse soon.

    I don't know about Thailand doing well, but the Thai people are struggling. Local restaurant needs 3k/day to break even, pays the waitresses 150bt/evening. Only makes it 3 night/week.

    This is typical for a business in Chiang Mai, the country is doing well, but the poor (almost everyone) are suffering.

    As for all the talk of sex on this thread,yes i like it,but having a companion you can share your life with is more important to me,yes i have shagged maybe 2 bar girls,but i don't really enjoy it,more about feelings for someone than the physical act, 

    Sums up what nearly all men think and want, but sadly in reality all you can get is the sex, the feeling we want are always one sided.

    How will a digital licence stop hit and run even if plates are identified. Drivers can drive different cars, swap plates, and I am sure that within a month this app will have been hacked.

    The time, speed, location and direction of your phone would be the give away.

    Also, most people swerve, or change speed when they hit something.

    can a prenup actually save me or is it a useless piece of paper in Thailand?

    It's a useless piece of paper because the house and land will be 100% in her name.

    What you don't bring into Thailand, she can't get on Thai divorce.

     

    Take her back to your home country and the game changes.

    A Bt31,402 savings over 12 months.  In about 3 more months, for a total of 15 months, I will have recovered the cost of the inverter A/C.   

    Most of us don't use air-con that much.

    My air-con is only on a few hours a night for the hotter nights, and adds 300bht to my bill for the 6-8 months I use it.

    2,400bht a year, 32% of that would be 800bht savings a year.

    i tried all the local branches to me, they all wanted a letter, i opened one and all they needed was a letter. so that's why i posted some branches require the letter. what other proof of address does some foreigner have.

    They don't write to you, they won't give you credit, why would they care about the address.

    I've not informed my bank of my new addresses over the past ten years.

    They always want your passport for new debit cards though.

    some banks insist on an address certificate from immigration

    Some branches of some banks are looking for excuses not to deal with a foreigner (But they don't like to say it to your face). If you returned with an address certificate from immigration, they would then demand a work permit.

     

    Learn to avoid doing business with people who don't want you.

    Then open your bank account with a branch of a bank that is happy to do business with you.
